For centuries in the era of sail, the wind and the elements were
dominant factors in war at sea. Even Admiral Nelson’s brilliant
defeat of the French at the Battle of Trafalgar was seen as more a
mark of the man, than of Britain’s fleet of wooden sailing
ships. When the industrial revolution ushered in the era of steam
propulsion, the British naval establishment resisted change fearing it
would make its massive fleet of wooden sailing men-of-war obsolete
overnight. The French, with less to lose, embraced the new technology
and produced the world’s first armour plated ironclad, GLOIRE.
Britain, forced to follow, replied with two revolutionary iron hulled
steam powered fighting ships, WARRIOR and BLACK PRINCE.
